While the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. once spent their time tracking down rogue technology and the odd person with special abilities, the show’s third season saw it begin to stray into more ambitious territory, with Skye a.k.a. Daisy a.k.a. Quake making efforts to form her own team of Inhumans and guide them tp use their newfound powers for good. Of course, this plan proved to be easier in theory than in execution.Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 3 also went out of this world as S.H.I.E.L.D and Hydra raced to unravel the secrets of a portal to another planet, Maveth, inhabited only by a lone, stranded astronaut and a malevolent exiled Inhuman. After both factions made the trip out to Maveth, Phil Coulson finally managed to take down Hydra leader Grant Ward, but viewers got a nasty surprise when it transpired that Ward’s body had become possessed by Maveth’s ancient and terrifying Inhuman prisoner, who then successfully made the trip back to Earth.Needless to say, S.H.I.E.L.D. is going to have a lot to deal with in the latter half of this season: Inhumans still popping up all over the globe, a new Big Bad in town, and Hydra still lurking in the shadows. A new promo for the upcoming midseason premiere, “Bouncing Back”, name drops the Secret Warriors (Quake’s team of Inhumans) and shows them using their powers against a new collection of equally superpowered villains.

Zombie Ward is back as well, looking a little worse for wear and not unlike he just stepped out of the “Thriller” music video. A brief clip showing the return of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s longest-standing villain shows that death hasn’t dampened Ward’s enthusiasm for taking off his shirt, which in turn reveals that he’s still carrying around a nasty mark from Coulson’s cybernetic hand. While Ward fans will no doubt be glad to have him back, it’s unclear just how long the Inhuman will want to wear this particular disguise. After all, it won’t be long before Ward starts to fall apart, and there’s no shortage of bodies on Earth.The promo also offers a look at new character Elena Rodriguez a.k.a. Slingshot (Natalia Cordova-Buckley) using her powers in a face-off against Mack. Slingshot has to ability to move at super-speed and then return to her original position in the blink of an eye – something that could prove valuable if she chooses to become part of the Secret Warriors, or very dangerous if she decides to work against them.Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. returns Tuesday March 8th @9pm on ABC.Source: ABC

The Leftovers explored whatever greatly opulent themes in its pre-eminent seasonable on HBO, notwithstanding that its unremittingly melancholy force is percentage of the argument that seasonable 1 attained a very factious response 1.

The summation of latest characters akin to Erika and Saint Potato – in counting up to the resurface of the gone Patti Levin (Ann Dowd) as what appears to be a spirit that strength exist only in Kevin’s sense – ought to go a elongated manner to holding the manifest’s hypothesis novel as it enters its second-year gathering.The Leftovers haw receive an hiking action in advance of it, as far-away as justifying its expansion out of reach the Blackamoor Perrotta fresh on which it is supported.

A number of beloved television series from the ’90s and ’00s are receiving the reboot, revival, or sequel treatment, including Fuller House and Gilmore Girls (both of them on Netflix, as it were). In 2014, Cartoon Network announced it would be rebooting the girl-powered animated series, The Powerpuff Girls, which will debut later this year.The Emmy-winning original show was created by Craig McCracken, running from 1998 to 2005, and launched a multi-platform franchise that includes video games and a feature film. Now, the first clip from Cartoon Network’s reboot series has been revealed, showcasing the same girl-power attitude of the original show.Cartoon Network released the clip (above) from the series premiere episode, ‘I Am Not A Princess’, featuring all three of the Powerpuff Girls facing off against a plaid-wearing woodsman villain who wants to shut down a “hippie carnival” and bring Townsville “back to its manly roots.” But, just as this Chemical X-enhanced trio did in Cartoon Network’s original series, the Powerpuff Girls don’t take kindly to being called princesses.As revealed by the network last year, The Powerpuff Girls will feature new voice actors as the three leading heroes: Amanda Leighton (The Fosters) as Blossom, Kristen Li (Nicky, Ricky, Dicky, & Dawn) as Bubbles, and Natalie Palamides (Burning Bridges) as Buttercup – though Tom Kenny will reprise his role as the Narrator/Mayor of Townsville. Bob Boyle (The Fairly OddParents, Danny Phantom) will executive producer the show along with Nick Jennings (Adventure Time).

Hearing the different voice cast in action in the first clip of the new PowerPuff Girls is sure to be strange for fans of the original show. But, the new cast may appeal to the series’ new audience, which will likely include younger viewers than those who watched the first iteration of The Powerpuff Girls. Furthermore, the inclusion of an entirely new villain – rather than one of the girls’ famous antagonists like Mojo Jojo or Sedusa – seems to demonstrate that the reboot series will feature new elements aside from the cast.Still, the clip does include the Powerpuff Girls’ essential girl power, with Buttercup defeating the villain very quickly, all while throwing like a girl – because there’s nothing wrong with that. So, while The Powerpuff Girls may have gotten the reboot treatment – something that isn’t uncommon among cartoon series like Scooby-Doo – Cartoon Network’s new show seems to maintain the heart of the original series.-The Powerpuff Girls will premiere this spring on Cartoon NetworkSource: Cartoon Network

Winter is coming this spring as Game of Thrones returns for season 6. Debuting on April 24, 2016, the new season will continue where season 5 left off: with a bunch of people dead, and a bunch of other people who are in immediate danger of joining them.There will no doubt be an abundance of shocking moments when houses Stark, Lannister, and Targaryen recommence their battle for control of Westeros, but HBO has been tight-lipped about offering any details. All fans have gotten so far are some teasers from the show’s stars and an image that seems to infer the return of a certain fan-favorite bastard. Now, however, the network has released a collection of new images from the new season.There are no real spoilers in the batch of 20 new pictures, mostly just pictures of the show’s many characters looking concerned about something going on off-screen. Most of the survivors from the previous seasons are accounted for, such as Arya, Sansa, and Bran representing House Stark and Tyrion, Cersei, and Jaime for House Lannister. In addition to the images, HBO has provided the following blurb, detailing the returning players for season 6:”GAME OF THRONES kicks off its ten-episode sixth season SUNDAY, APRIL 24 (9:00-10:00 p.m.). Based on the popular book series “A Song of Ice and Fire,” by George R.R. Martin, this EmmyAward-winning series chronicles an epic struggle for power in the vast and violent continent of Westeros, where summers and winters can last years. Among the returning members of the ensemble cast are Emmy and Golden Globe winner Peter Dinklage, Lena Headey, Emilia Clarke, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Alfie Allen, Diana Rigg, Natalie Dormer, Sophie Turner, Maisie Williams, John Bradley, Isaac Hempstead-Wright, Conleth Hill, Jonathan Pryce and Gwendoline Christie. David Benioff and D.B. Weiss created the series and serve as executive producers.”

What’s in store for the upcoming season? For the first time, fans can’t turn to the books to get a sneak peek as the show has finally outpaced its source material. The previous season ended with a number of huge moments. From an epic battle at The Wall, which ended with what appeared to be a character death rivaling even that of the Red Wedding in its shock value to a depressing new low point for Cersei Lannister, no major character ended the season without having undergone significant trauma.Certainly, no one can argue that Game of Thrones pulls any punches, and some have argued that at times it goes too far in its portrayal of sexual violence against women in particular. Those criticisms aren’t likely to slow the show down, though, as it continues to explore the toll that perpetual war and systemic violence takes on all involved, man or woman. In a time when real-life terror groups like ISIS often make the evening news every bit as violent and shocking as the fictional world of HBO’s flagship show, the show’s themes are arguably as timely as ever.For a peek at what’s in store, see the image gallery below.
